Get ready for mid-day traffic hassles on I-85 in Gwinnett County.

The Georgia Department of Transportation will close the southbound express lane between McGinnis Ferry Road and Sugarloaf Parkway from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday, weather permitting. The closures will allow survey crews to work in the lane.

Barrels will block motorists from entering the lane, and GDOT advises motorists to stay alert while traveling through the area.
